Warframe: Mag, Sentients and Tips
So currently I have a level 14 Mag. Haven't ranked her further due to other frames coming along. I always heard she isn't great but a few will chime in with she is far better than many give her credit for. I always thought I could make her viable and seems like a good fit for my play style.
I also just watched a video of someone using her to wreck sentients, which are beginning to worry me. I'm at the beginning of Neptune. I'll have to kill 10 before too long and would like to grind out Octavia which involves them as well so a quick and painless way is the best way. Curious on tips to make her OP for this and any possible tips for killing sentients.
I chose Mag over excal as I was a noob and a dummy. So radial blind cheese is out. I also know about rainbow builds but would prefer to stay away from that if possible.
A few other things to work with is a hek that is about to get shattered justice. I also have a [30] Frost Prime, [30]Oberon, [14]Nova, [16]Ember, [14] Rhino and [9]Valkyr. I saw Nova is good against them, and Valkyr's 4 is good as well. Any tips or build for this would be appreciated.

3 RepliesI usually just use Valkyr's slide attack while in Hysteria. [spoiler]That thing melts almost everything.[/spoiler] [spoiler]Haven't tried using the operator on them but I haven't been to Lua for a while.[/spoiler]

12 RepliesTheres a part near the end of Second Dream where you get 9 sentients thrown at you, but you can actually kill them fairly easily. Hand beam is your friend. Wont say any more because spoilers, but you'll know what I mean when it happens.

3 RepliesWhich platform are you on? If you’re on Xbox (or PC), I can give you a hand with the sentient kills on Lua, as well as the derelict vault runs. I’ve actually been wanting to do vault runs myself, but I generally play solo which makes things awkward regarding keys. If you want a hand, PM me and we’ll set something up.

5 RepliesIf you are going against sentients, use high single shot damage weapons and make sure you have plenty of different procs and dmg types. The way to play mag is to max range and use magnetize. You shoot into the bubble and when the duration ends, all damage put into the bubble is dealt to surrounding enemies (with a multiplier on it I believe). It is basically a bomb that you can make as powerful as you want. But don't worry about sentients yet. Play all the planets. Try to get a lot of the junctions. Do NOT rush the game as you can royally screw yourself in the long run.

3 RepliesHonestly, nova is an instant win button, up her efficiency and skill damage as well as a bit of duration and molecular prime will wipe out rooms of enemies with ease. Mix that with an atomos with split chamber and extended range and you can chain kill 3 rooms with one shot

2 RepliesRad and viral is lethal in the void and agaisnt grineer, bombards end up dropping like flies agaisnt it, gas is perfect agaisnt the infested and to some extent grineer and corpus due to the toxin proc afterwards, blast is better agaisnt corpus overall though, as for sentients i mainly use a tigris variant with over 15000 slash damage and dual element damage as well as the synoid gammacor with a special build that allows for an adjustable element build just by moving two mods. Now as for mag, polarize and magnetize are a vicious combo, you want high duration and some strength and this will net you a significant increase in burst dps agaisnt bosses(so long as they dont move) and sentients. A special tip about sentients is if you do enough damage in one hit it causes more than one gate of damage resistance to activate afterwards leaving it still vulnerable to another weapon damage. I realise its a big wall of text but once i start i do have trouble stopping or condensing it further. If you have any other questions just ask

1 ReplyEdited by c111whelan999: 11/17/2017 12:34:03 PMI used to struggle killing sentients as their damage resistance would essentially negate the majority of damage I would do. However I learnt that if you go into operator mode and shoot them with your hand-beam-thing, it completely gets rid of their resistances and stuns them for a second or two; allowing you to do full damage and either kill them or get them very low. I don't have any sentient killing tips for Mag as I have barely played her; just got her to level 30 for the mastery and then deleted her to make room for other frames. I'd imagine the best way would be to cast your 3 a few times to weaken their armour and then cast your 2 to trap them and do bonus damage. As a few people below have said, Nova is a great choice due to her M Prime but I used Valkyr for the longest time due to Hysteria making you invulnerable to damage and ripping sentients to shreds in a matter of moments.

Edited by Bi - Polarizing: 11/17/2017 8:32:24 AMGet yourself a Sobek or Kohm (two criminally underrated shotguns) mod for radiation / viral (normally I'd say full rad, but since sentients can gain resistance to status, it's better to have multiple statuses across your weapons if you don't feel like removing them [the resistances] with your operator) then use Magnetize and Polarize all while blasting at the target(s) you casted Magnetize on. Honestly though, any shotgun or hitscan weapon is good for her, which the [url=https://youtu.be/d_MPFdtp2Ic]Mara Detron[/url] can fulfil both roles. It's perfect.

3 RepliesEdited by TreeMan_X: 11/16/2017 7:17:16 PMFor the sentiants, you need to bring multiple damage types and weapons that can lay out big damage in one hit, since the sentiants will gain huge damage resistance to whatever damage type you are using, ie Heat and puncture, like the shadow stalker. You can remove that resistance once you complete The War Within so you can keep constant damage. I can't help you with mag, never used her, but the hek is one heck of a shotgun with scattered justice.

1 ReplyIf you plan on using mag I suggest using projectile/energy weapons. Best I can think of are Torid, Lanka, Drakgoon, Supra Vandal, and Mara Detron. The video provided is the potential Mag/Lanka can reach.
